Xbox One Shovel Knight Release Date Revealed

The Xbox One version of Yacht Club Games' 2D side-scrolling platformer Shovel Knight will be released sometime next week, Microsoft has announced. Xbox boss Phil Spencer said on Twitter that he was recently informed that the game had passed certification, while Microsoft's Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb revealed the game's target release window in his own tweet, saying the game is due the week of April 27.

Microsoft typically refreshes the Xbox Store on Wednesdays, which would mean Shovel Knight should arrive on April 29.
